Yeah Oblivion didn't really solve the generic dialouge problems of Morrowind. I would rather have no option to talk to everyone than finding out that they have nothing to say. At least that way you know that you are going to get something other than name, class, location, when you talk to somebody.

Charging 0.99 $ for a micro mod seems kinda pathetic, but I guess it adds up.

Whatever happens there is no way he can make the fundamentalist crackpots who want a turn based game happy.

Everything has changed since Fallout 2 so it would be pretty hard to stay true to the 'roots' Whatever they come up with is bound to be radically different.

Oblivion adons ?

I like to have exact resistance and preferably increments on the thumb 'joystick' so I can feel the degrees, unfortunately that seems to have gone out of style along with joysticks

I want one with an adjustable hue that shifts with my mood.

I agree the oblivion gates were pretty tedious, did one did them all. More fun to raid forts for loot even if they don't have as much.

As a general technical observation, the more it costs the less you get for your money

What was GOTO anyway ? Bao Dur's probe or the one you got stuck with after 'defeating' whatshisface.

I thought it was hilarious, but then maybe I didn't replay the game 30 times It wasen't exactly like he had much to say without probing and repairing anyway.

Why did you put HK 47 in the worst ever category ? Anyway I kinda consider Atton a failed Han Solo, just me maybe. Kreia worked fine as a character, it's just that she seemed to merge with the unlikely plot and become it herself. As a consequence her motivations were never really known. I suppose thats all very sith, but it didn't make for a strong characterisation.

Hi HK

My sister just started studying psychology, i'm really worried what she might come up with when she starts analysing the family.

Well, it's impossible to circumcise yourself, but I suppose if the women had any kind of choice in the matter the custum would eventually die out. The concept that bears comparison is that women who have been subjected to it themselves turn around and do it to the next generation, knowing full and well how painful and destructive it is. Wearing a veil is neither painful or destructive, but the pressure to conform means that we don't hear from those young muslim women who don't want to wear the weil but do it anyway. And yes, the practice is also a political manifiestation connected to Islamism. Which is fine if you are of that political persuation, but not if it means that it becomes defacto involountary.

I wonder if we should be so eager to perpetuate a cultural practice which views women as less than men. The women might very well want to wear the viel, but what one should consider is what their daughters would really wan't if they didn't have peer pressure to conform to the custum. Although there is no real comparision, take female genital mutilation, the practice is typically performed by women who have been subjected to it themselves. Just goes to show just how powerful these pressures can be if a woman is prepared to do something so abhorable to her own daughter just in order to conform.

" Except Terry Jones might have contributed more to society than just raising a child to adulthood. wink.gif" My dad wrote over 60 books, historical dramas and social satire mostly, I like Monty Python but I would hesitate on calling any of their movies 'contributions to society'

"So what's the point in having INT (for example) as a stat, if it has no bearing on the game?" It does, it determines max known spells, number of skills, modifies certain skills etc. In 2E there was no spell level requirements other than 12 in the required stat, but Clerics still got bonus spells, and mages more spells to chose from.
